Why read it?
1 author picked Machine as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A space hospital for aliens–what a clever idea.
The second book in Bear’s White Space series, Machine is an entertaining blend of SF adventure and multiple mysteries that sucked me right in. A space hospital begins to experience escalating mishaps after a rescue mission returns with the cryo-suspended crew of a stranded generation ship along with its memory-challenged ship’s mind.
Trust is a key theme in Machine, and you can trust Bear’s capable writer hands to tell a whopping good story.
From Charley's list on sci-fi for visiting alien worlds.
